Answer 1

Answer:

Potato

Explanation:

Hypertension is a condition developed due to the continuous high or elevated blood pressure in the arteries in the body. The main cause of hypertension is the contraction of the arteries and the consumption of food with a high level of sodium and low level of potassium.

It is suggested that people with hypertension should consume a diet rich in potassium but with a low amount of sodium.  The good source of food with a high level of potassium is baked potato which provides carbohydrates also, salmon, and the banana.

Since the amount of potassium is high in the baked potato, therefore, is the correct answer.
